What are your 2007 predictions?

[ohiostorm]

I dont like the commercial airliner thing. Granted we havent had a major one in years, I am flying in March and that scares me!!

We just had one last year.

2. The Trump/O'Donnell continues for alittle while but no lawsuit will happen.
6. Barack Obama will announce his bid for the Presidency.
8. Jennifer Hudson will win a Golden Globe for her stint as "Effie" in "Dreamgirls". Beyounce' won't win an Oscar but Eddie Murphy will. - Beyounce' wasn't nominated but Eddie Murphy was.

My prediction for a large East Coast storm in late winter MAY BE taking shape.

I blew my prediction on the Eagles though. I think I jinxed them!

.
9. A prominent Hollywood actor will die in a tragic accident.

Anna Nicole Smith is in the news now and they were reporting that paramedics were doing CPR on her.

She is an actor. But I'm not sure if something accidental happened...and, thankfully, she's not dead yet. So, I'm hoping she isn't the one to make this prediction come true.

Sure enough...she's gone.

Stephanie I too mentioned snow in the NE.

[Stephanie]

I saw that!

2-A major blizzard will hit the east coast, Philly will get 36 inches out of it (I can wish )
.....

Maybe, I'll keep hoping!

We just had one last year.

Was a regional jet, not a larger commercial jetliner. Still bad but not as bad as a much bigger jet.

I think ohiostorm meant something along the lines of TWA 800. The last one of those I recall was in 2001.

Granted, Comair 5191 was major to the families of the 49 people who died.

Doesn't matter if there's 2 people or 200 people on board, a plane crash is always a tragedy. Just wait until the first fully loaded A380 goes down...

I don't even want to think about that!!

13. There will be another freaky serial killer discovered -- this one in Virginia.

*shudders* I forgot about that one. I wasn't quite right though -- it was a mass murderer instead of a serial killer.

14. Rosie will leave "The View."

Finally!

[Hurricaneman]

1. A powerful coastal storm will rake the Carolinas, the Delmarva, and New England in March. Damage will rival that of Hurricane Floyd.

2. For probably the first time in US history a person who killed while driving drunk will be sentenced to death. This will happen in a southern state.

3. Parts of the southeast US will suffer a massive tornado outbreak in January or February.

4. Dick Cheney will step down to seek treatment for alcoholism.

5. The tropics will not be as kind to the US in 2007 as they were in 2006. Although we wont see anything like Katrina and Rita Florida will be criss crossed by at least 2 systems and at least one hurricane will affect the mid atlantic and carolinas, causing moderate damage. The gulf coast will largely be spared although a small weak TS will hit the central gulf coast; it will be little more than a long lasting afternoon thunderstorm.

6. Fidel Castro will die. (We have heard this before havent we?)

7. The US military will began pulling out of Iraq.

8. A tsunami scare for the east coast after an undersea earthquake in the far eastern atlantic. Only small tsunamis occur however and there is little damage.

More to follow..

Well so far he has 1 and 3 correct hopefully he has no more correct

[Cyclenall]

Fidel Castro didn't die (offically anyways) like many thought he would!

see that there is almost a consensus that Castro will die in 2007,but will he die as every year at this time the predictions are the same and he still is alive?

And I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't die this year either.

[arkess7]

I predict that 2008 is gona be friggin awesome!!!!!!!

That my cancer wont come back!

That I make lots of money at my new job and get out of debt!


That I'm the best mother I can be to my daughter!

And that everyone will find some serenity in their lives(me included)!

[therock1811]

1. Major hurricane hits FL by August (false thankfully)
2. Saints get to the Super Bowl (false)
3. Cincinnati has a scare sometime in spring with severe weather and tornadoes within miles of downtown (this also was thankfully false)
4. Snow cripples the Northeast (bingo, the Blizzard of '07)
5. Saddam is hanged (i can't count this, it happened 2 days before '07 began but it did happen)
6. Castro is dead, but his second in command ascends to full power and communism continues for Cuba (half right, he wasn't dead but Castro did cede power to his brother)
7. Terror attack plots foiled in major cities such as L.A., Seattle and NYC (i got one city right, NYC's JFK was a target)
8. Severe weather breaks out for most in the midwest in May...rivaling last year. (nailed this one, unfortunately)
9. The hurricane season will be worse than '06, but not as bad as 2005. (right, thankfully)
10. A major musician will die sometime in the summer.(Pavarotti died September 6, still summer, so yes I nailed it)

[Cyclenall]

9. The hurricane season will be worse than '06, but not as bad as 2005. (Not right, thankfully)

You were right on that one, the 2007 hurricane season was worse then 2006. In what way was it not? I think two category 5 landfalling hurricanes is worse then what 2006 featured.

[Brent]

1. Fidel Castro dies(No)
2. Popular Hollywood actor will die(this is a given based on recent years)(Yes, countless ones)
2. Congress will cut off funding to Iraq war after situation continues to be bad. By the end of the year significant numbers of troops will be pulled out(hopefully!).(No and no of course)
3. Iran will continue it's nuke program, and talk of war will grow(but not happen)(Yes, sorta, war talk did grow there for awhile, but apparently their nuke program was stopped)
4. North Korea will continue it's nuke program and test more nukes.(No)
5. Britney Spears will continue to be a bad mother(LOL)(Yes)
6. Rosie O'Donnell's mouth will get her fired from The View(She did leave)
7. Major Earthquake will strike California(No, again)
8. Hurricane Season will feature a few bad storms hitting the U.S., no Katrinas, but more active than 2006.(Not really, right on the last part however)
9. Commerical airliner crashes in the U.S.(No)
10. Terror attack against U.S. interests overseas, attacks will be foiled against targets inside the U.S.(No)
11. Mike Nifong is disbarred over the Duke rape case scandal, all charges are dropped against the three men.(YES!)
12. Pyonechang, South Korea is chosen as the host city for the 2014 Winter Olympics.(No)

I might think of a few more later...

5 out of 12... I suck.

[wx247]

1. There will be a shocker in the race for the White House. What do I mean by that? By the end of next year, there will likely be a candidate from both parties surging and will challenge (Obama,Clinton on the dem side and McCain,Guiliani on the rep side) them. *Half credit here...Huckabee*

2. A natural disaster will make a lot of headlines even though it will not be on the coasts. It will be found somewhere in Mid-America. *wrong*

3. Laura Ingraham will launch a show on FOX News. *half-right... she tested a pilot*

4. The US terror threat level will rise to orange as new information surfaces about a plot to harm a major US landmark. *wrong*

5. Gas Prices will hit $3.00 on average across America as tensions build in Iran. *correct*

6. The status of Fidel Castro's health will hang in the balance as reports surface that he has died. No confirmation will be able to be made for days as the world holds its collective breath. *semi-correct, but I will count it wrong*

7. A major movie star will tie the knot early in the year only to divorce and be remarried by year's end. *wrong*

8. The New Orleans Saints will win the Super Bowl. *wrong*

9. The St. Louis Cardinals will make a run at a repeat World Series crown, but will fall just short. *wrong*

10. A famous celebrity will shock the world by uttering the words none of their fans expected to hear: "I'm gay!" *correct: Lance Bass*


3 out of 10...YEE HAW!

Sorry you're right. I edited to give myself that one.

Still 4/10, unless I give myself half credit for the ones I got half right then it goes to 5.
